PUNISHER STORYTIME

PUNISHER STORYTIME

All this year I'll be storytiming Punisher comics. Most of the focus will be on pre-Ennis stories, but there'll be some Ennis era stuff at some point. Expect at least 1 storytime per week.

Of all the "major" Punisher writers of the 80s and 90s, the team of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning are probably the least well known. This is in spite of the fact that they actually wrote more issues than (original War Journal writer) Carl Potts or (original Punisher miniseries writer) Steven Grant. They not only had a year long run on The Punisher's main series, but also did some fill-in work on that same title and some issues of War Zone and a miniseries and an Annual.

Today we're going to be reading their first arc on The Punisher War Zone, which immediately followed Chuck Dixon's classic first run on the series.

As well as featuring the ultra-clean, classically-influenced art stylings of the underrated Mike McKone, this arc also has what are to this day some of my favorite covers of ANY comics for ANY character. I'd seriously consider them up there with some of the great hype(rbole) covers of the Silver Age in terms of their ability to draw you in with utterly insane situations, plus they're just un-fucking-believably well designed. Just excellent work in general. I'm surprised they're not more well known, but maybe this storytime'll help raise awareness of these fantastic covers.

And on top of that? One of the most unique setups for ANY Punisher story that you'll ever read! This is some bang-up work, so get in here and read this shit.
